I've #considered #christine 's / #xe 's #request that #twitter not become a place of #freespeech , but I believe the #argument is not strong: https://xeiaso.net/blog/twitter-fears One of the #fears they have is that it will lead to #threats of #violence - but this is not covered by #freespeech . As those of the #leftwing have #claimed all along, " #private #companies can do whatever they want". Suddenly it is #unpalatable when a #company does not act in your #favour - welcome to the #realworld .
I saw a #youtube #video from mostly #silent #lucybrown whom appears to #support #amberheard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQVqpddv.. Her #argument appears to be purely one of #projection . I know #lucybrown has received a lot of #hate (rightfully or wrongfully I don't know) and I can #emphasise with her, but when it comes down to #evidence , #amberheard simply has none and #johnnydepp has it all. It doesn't appear to be a case for #power at all, with people completely unconnected to him #supporting him
The #oxford #union #vegan #argument is wild: https://youtube.com/watch?v=gMfjm4NWkYU Apparently it is #racist , #sexist , #colonialist , #oppression , #sexual #violence to #eat #meat ... Apparently #drinking #milk makes you a #neonazi ... What the actual fuck. Insanity.
A very #dubious #claim is being made that #climatechange is directly #correlated with #increased rates of #suicide https://www.lotuseaters.com/climate-chan.. I genuinely call #bullshit on this. The #argument is about it being harder to #sleep due to #humidity - in that case #countries with high humidity must be #death pits? I think #nature were wrong to #publish this...
These days I find myself more #agreeable to the #measurement #argument - rather than jumping straight into #implementation https://danluu.com/why-benchmark/ The thing you need to be able to answer is "is this new thing actually better" or "will doing this new thing even have a chance of being better"?
Insanely #clickbait #article that is just plain wrong: https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/wikipedi.. I make a good #argument in #hackernews #comments here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=282..

How can it be so hard to have a genuine #discussion / #debate / #argument about #massgraves of #indigenous people?Currently watching a #live #debate on #youtube with #laurensouthern about #canada 's #massgraves of #indigenous people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZfh9_0l.. Currently it's not clear whether it even happened, apparently tonnes of these sites haven't actually been dug up, it's only be inspected using #radar ... It seems like there is a lot more technicality and nuance than #mainstream #media want to really let you in on. Interesting - debates were really the golden era of Yotutube!
A pretty interesting #argument made against #ethereum #crypto #coin https://tomerstrolight.medium.com/the-pr.. Essentially it boils down to the #difficultybomb being pushed further and further back, without #accountability . My biggest concern is the lack of #regulation (which could be thought of as accountability) and the fluctuations of such a currency. It's both #decentralized - but also #destabilized !
People jump to #racism *very* quickly, which is especially amusing when the #ai is being accused of #medical racism: https://lukeoakdenrayner.wordpress.com/2.. There are several issues with the #argument made and I elaborate here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=281..
